Overview

The Data Explorer is a visual layer on top of Kombo’s unified API. It allows you to view and search for data entries and execute all write actions from a convenient UI in the Kombo dashboard. This allows you to easily debug issues with your integrations, develop new features, and test changes with your customer’s data or your sandboxes.
